Hello,

I'm use Z97 Pro4. And I use with PLEXTOR PX-G128M6e on M.2
But The interface of M.2 PLEXTOR PX-G128M6e SSD is SATA3, That's not what i want. And i've already check that this board is support M.2 SSD PCIe mode (http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/m.2-ngff-ssd-compatibility-list.html#motherboards)

So how to set the M.2 SSD to make it use PCIe gen2 mode?
I already ask the local distributor on my country but they don't know how.

Could Somebody please explain it to me.

My bios ver. is 2.20 (Asia)
OS : Win 8.1 (64 bit)

Thank you very much

Dear Shutreload,

About the interface stings display issue, it should be related to the 3rd party tool/benchmark.
If possible, you may test the M.2 SSD on other Intel platform and use the same tool to double-check it.

For this issue, we would suggest you to run benchmark to check the performance of M.2 SSD directly.
We tested Plextor M6e M.2 SSD on Z97 Pro4 by “CrystalDiskMask5.0.2” and the performance of read and write can approach of device specification.
Please refer to Plextor PX-G128M6e performance from link.
